Lorne, Phillip Island, Torquay and the Mornington Peninsula are bracing for an influx of teenagers from next week, with Schoolies about to commence.

And after a torrid final two years of school, due to persistent lockdowns, those on the ground are bracing for some over-excited celebrations.

“I think they’ll have a little bit more energy stored up, absolutely,” Andy Gourley, founder of support network Red Frogs, told Tom Elliott.

“It’s always your hangers-on and toolies that are 90 per cent of the arrests,” he said.
